Truckers Savings Journalists Program

On December 12, 2012, we launched the Truckers Savings Journalists Program to enable truckers who share money saving tips on this site to earn money.

The program gives approved professional truck drivers ("Journalists") the opportunity to earn money from advertising appearing with industry-specific money saving articles and reviews they write and submit to the site.

Overview

This program allows approved current and former professional truck drivers ("Journalists") to earn an ongoing revenue stream by writing news articles and/or reviews that will be published on the Truck-Drivers-Money-Saving-Tips.com website.

Articles and reviews published under this program must focus on how professional
truck drivers can save money or are being forced to spend more money in their jobs.

Truckers Savings Journalists Program applicants choose a topic ("beat") that they want to cover from the perspective of professional truck drivers saving money.

Once approved into the program, a Journalist writes and submits articles and/or reviews to Truck-Drivers-Money-Saving-Tips.com for review and publication on the site.

Each article or review submitted by a Journalist is published with two files:

his or her unique Google AdSense ad information and

his or her unique author byline.

Each Journalist must have a Google AdSense account to participate and earn revenue.

All clicks on and earnings from the Journalist's AdSense ads are paid directly to the Journalist by Google (according to Google's Terms and Conditions, to which Journalists must agree separately).

This allows Truckers Savings Journalists to have an ongoing revenue stream.

The benefits to Truckers Savings Journalists include:

Truck-Drivers-Money-Saving-Tips.com provides instant visibility and readership for quality Journalists on the subject of truckers saving money.

The process of submitting articles and/or reviews is done online through any web browser and no coding or programming is required.

The author byline allows Journalists to enter their names and project info.

All articles and reviews on Truck-Drivers-Money-Saving-Tips.com are categorized, providing long-term revenue potential from search clicks.

New articles and reviews published on Truck-Drivers-Money-Saving-Tips.com are automatically picked up on the site's RSS news feed and sent to the site's Truckers Savings Blog and social media accounts.

Requirements for Participation in the Truckers Savings Journalists Program

To participate in the Truckers Savings Journalists Program:

You must:

currently drive a Class A, Class B or Class C truck professionally;

have driven a Class A, Class B or Class C truck professionally for a minimum of 2 years; or

be the wife -- and current full-time passenger -- of a truck driver who is driving a Class A, Class B or Class C professionally.

(Note: We use the commercial truck classification used in the USA. Other countries may classify trucks differently.)

You must be willing to write about a specific topic ("beat") that you choose (preferably from our list of topics).

We request that Journalists submit, depending on topic,

Either a minimum of one (1) article or free-form review per month;

Or a minimum of one (1) "formed" truck stop review every two (2) weeks.

You may contribute more if you choose.

Regarding articles and free-form reviews, you must have high quality writing and editing skills that allow you to submit ready-to-publish article content.

Truck-Drivers-Money-Saving-Tips.com does not provide intensive editing services, and we will reject articles that contain too many errors.

Writing quality must be professional and match the theme and tone of our website.

While humor has its place, ours is not a site for satire.

You must be willing to agree to our terms of

non-plagiarism (your articles/reviews are strictly your own work, not copied from other sources),

first publication (your articles/reviews are to be published first on our site and nowhere else for at least 90 days), and

financial independence (meaning that you cannot take money from companies to write about their products or services, nor can you write about a company or product in which you have a direct financial stake).

We have found, however, that Google is very fair about paying on time.)

This set-up provides a small but ongoing revenue stream for your content, and it continues to generate revenue over time because your content stays posted on Truck-Drivers-Money-Saving-Tips.com indefinitely.

The more content you contribute to Truck-Drivers-Money-Saving-Tips.com, the more AdSense earnings you can accumulate over time.

Specific earning levels are not guaranteed, and they may vary widely based on the topic you write about, the quality of your writing, the behavior of readers, etc.

Under this program, either party can quit the arrangement at any time.

We require all Journalists to operate with professionalism, honesty and transparency.

We do not tolerate plagiarism or fraudulently clicking on your own AdSense ads.

Engaging in either will result in immediate termination from the program.

Journalists covering a large topic area (such as preventive maintenance) may be joined by other Journalists on the same or a similar beat.
